- * Schema migration contract:

- * - `version`: integer schema version, strictly increasing.
+ * 1) Normalize element.schemaState.tracks (invalid/missing -> initial track version).
- * - `title`: short human-readable label.
+ * 2) Iterate declared migrations in order.
- * - `description`: required plain-language explanation of the change.
+ * 3) For matching element types, apply only forward migrations supported by current app.
- * - `apply`: pure element transform.
+ * 4) Persist migrated track versions back onto the element.
- *
- * Rules:
- * - Use integer versions only. `SCHEMA_VERSIONS.latest` must match the last migration version.
- * - Migrations should depend only on stable persisted schema fields (not temporary/PR-only fields).
